The gemara is referring to Jews wasting their time shmoozing instead of learning. Not applicable to Kobe.
How is it not applicable? It's a kal vchomer.

No it’s not! A Jew that can do mitzvos and learn and buy Olam Haba points, that’s what the Talmud considers a waste of time not doing so. But a non Jew?!? Let him play basketball!!

Yoy. Where's @ExGingi when you need him?
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

The ערוך explains that הם ״עמלים״ means that they actually are umal in their wasted shmoozing.


Btw, this threads’ title should be “Daf Yomi commentary “

It's worthwhile to read what R' Miller says about sports that I read on The Lakewood Scoop.

Very illuminating. It shows us how empty the gentile world is. Sports is anything but noble. Boruch Hashem they He seperated us from these lost neshomas.

For someone whose handle is Shkop, sure doesn't seem that you have the same sense that your namesake had....
